talib kweli and me: aka I love twitter!

Talib-Kweli

If there’s one thing that anyone that knows me knows it’s that I am a major Talib Kweli fan. He is part of my holy triumvirate of contemporary artists that can do no wrong in my book, along with Black Thought and Mos Def. I say contemporary because Stevie Wonder can also [...]

10 things that make me happy

The other day I found myself going through my collection of domino magazines. Unfortunately domino is no longer published, but I take comfort in the fact that I still have my issues (no pun intended) and I refuse to get rid of them. domino featured a page called ’10 things that make [...]

love post 3: set my heart to music

set my heart to music

As a young Stevie Wonder so eloquently sang, “the language of music is known around the world. …it’s the best way of talking that man has ever had.” I couldn’t agree more. Music speaks to my heart and at times speaks for my heart.

the day after election day.

Yesterday was election day across the nation. I know this was the foremost topic on a lot of people’s minds; however, in the words of the great and talented Talib Kweli, “I don’t f*ck with politics; I don’t even follow it.” I do realize, though, that voting is an important right that [...]

rasberry jam: ‘i try’ – talib kweli ft. mary j. blige

This is one of my favorite songs. It’s from Kweli’s “The Beautiful Struggle,” which happens to be one of my favorite cds. I’m not loving the styling of Mary in this video though. The Asian-inspired top with the ponytails seemed totally out of place. And I love a large, floppy hat, but that [...]

rasberry jam:

I pretty much love any project that Talib Kweli is involved in and Reflection Eternal is no exception. Kweli & Hi-Tek are phenomenal. Can’t wait until the album – Revolutions Per Minute – drops.

Be who you want to be today.
